As I understand it, the sag angle is the angle from which the force exerted on the tree is computed. Thus, the desired 30 degree angle should be when the hammock is occupied.

Good points to talk about. I'm sure it's been talked about, but I just don't remember the discussion

I thought it should weighted....stretch of hammock/straps and weight of occupants will have a definite effect on the angle..how much? I do not know...

Veepster, nice castle, cover it with mosquito net.

Awesome spot to hang!

At this point I think I would agree w/ you & TiredFeet. When it's weighted w/ a person's body is when those angles would be doing their work on what ever is supporting them.

Veepster -
Good looking hang tower, uhhh, kids' castle. I built a "swingset" about 13 years ago that I designed myself... complete with a platform on top where our 4 person family can "camp". It's about 10 feet off the ground and I find the mosquitoes don't' bother us up there, even when they bad are at ground level.
